A kind witch keeps losing her hat, her bow and her wand in the wind, and every time a helpful animal finds them, they ask for a lift on her broom. First a dog, then a bird, then a frog, much to the fury of her cat, and the poor broom starts to creak. Then a fearsome dragon turns up with an appetite for witch. Gillian Anderson is the witch, with Simon Pegg narrating, Rob Brydon as the grumpy cat and Timothy Spall as the dragon. It's a cosy, rhyming, Oscar-nominated tale about friendship and making room for one more, which suits Christmas Day (and a crowded sofa) down to the ground.
